Overall cost and Maintenance cost over time. Brakes, tires, oil etc. if you are going to burn miles on a highway the BRZ is way cheaper and easier to deal with.
Here’s is my example:
Bought 16 BRZ - 28k - will pay off car in a year. So about 4.5 year loan and will have about 65k on the car.
Used Cayman S was looking at about 35k on average with 45k miles. If you consider that it would take me 5 years to pay off, then after paid off the Cayman would have 110k miles on it. Hate still owing money on a car with 100k miles.
I like to own cars without payments for a longtime. I still have my 04 WRX, no payments for 12 years. Can’t beat that and she still hammers.
To me it just did not makes sense and to be honest having driven both, the BRZ is a very good alternative and better value for sure.
There are many commuting miles where I am not really appreciating or even enjoying driving the car. That’s just the reality of life.
